Proven Results Across Critical Industries

We work with businesses where downtime isn’t an option — and deliver when it matters most.

Aviation Logistics

Aircraft Back in Service in 18 Hours

Challenge

An aircraft was grounded due to an aircraft engine failure risking major operational disruption and financial loss.

Solution

We arranged for the shipment to be moved by direct aircraft charter, the engine was in transit within 6 hours of the initial request, and arrived at STN airport where we arrange for a low loader trailer to collect and deliver airside to the aircraft side ready for installation to the B787-900 at LHR.

Result

The part was delivered within 18 hours, returning the aircraft to revenue service the same day with zero disruption to the airline's onward schedule.

Scanlon Freight Cruise Ship Rear Unloading

Marine Logistics

Medical Supplies Delivered Within 72 Hours

Challenge

A new-build cruise ship was preparing for its maiden voyage when it emerged that critical medical equipment was still needed for the onboard medical team — with only a 3-day window before departure.

Solution

We coordinated closely with the client to schedule collection from their warehouse facility. The shipment consisted mainly of medical consumables. Customs declarations were processed in advance, and the port agent at Genoa, Italy was pre-notified to ensure timely clearance ahead of delivery port-side to the vessel.

Result

The vessel sailed on schedule for its maiden voyage, with its medical team fully equipped from day one — no delay to the launch, no compromise on onboard care.

Scanlon Freight Temp Control Road Freight

Healthcare Logistics

Life-Saving Treatment Delivered Within 72 Hours

Challenge

A shipment needed to travel from Germany to our client's UK facility before reaching a patient for critical treatment. The shipment had a 156-hour shelf life from the moment it left the shipper.

Solution

We engaged our overseas partner to contact the shipper and schedule collection. The shipment was booked on a passive +2°C to +8°C service to LHR, where we arranged customs clearance on arrival and delivered to the client with a TCV

Result

The shipment reached the hospital in time for the patient's treatment — well within the 156-hour shelf-life window, with zero compromise to the treatment's viability.

Customs Clearance

Delays Eliminated, Compliance Assured

Challenge

Our client was importing products to the UK via a third party and experiencing repeated clearance delays. Shipments were being held in storage, ultimately affecting delivery to their end customers.

Solution

We took direct control of the client's shipments — liaising with the airline for fast nomination on arrival, extracting cargo immediately to avoid storage charges, and delivering next-day to their fulfilment centre.

Result

Storage charges disappeared, deliveries landed on time, and the client's online orders started reaching end customers reliably again.
